Wang Mang’s mouth twitched.
How did it get dragged back to tutoring again?
He certainly didn’t teach him that!
But their family actually had some connections with capitalists before.
Although the connection was quite distant, it would have been fine if no one pursued it.
Once someone investigated, it would be completely over!
Over the past two years, Wang Mang had watched with his own eyes as those formerly out-of-reach relatives were ruined one by one.
He didn’t dare harbor even a shred of wishful thinking!
Wang Mang immediately pulled a stack of colorful ration tickets and bills from his pocket and began to count them in front of Su Qinghe.
“There is a total of twenty-one yuan here, seven jin of grain tickets, three jin of meat tickets, and two sugar tickets. I’ll compensate you with all of these, and we’ll call it even. How about that?”
Su Qinghe didn’t take them, but instead looked at Qin Wang, “Qin Wang, what do you think?”
Hearing this, Qin Wang instinctively looked at Su Qinghe, their eyes meeting.
Although Su Qinghe didn’t say anything, Qin Wang understood her meaning from her gaze.
She wanted him to accept them.
Qin Wang didn’t want them.
Wang Kuan had always brought people to bully him before. Now, with just an apology and some compensation in money and tickets, could those matters just be settled like that?
But looking into Su Qinghe’s eyes, the words of refusal rolled around on the tip of his tongue before Qin Wang finally swallowed them back down.
Without saying a word, Qin Wang walked silently up to Wang Mang and took the money and tickets from his hands.
Seeing this, Wang Mang let out a heavy sigh of relief, “Is it over now? Can we leave?”
“Of course!” Su Qinghe said with a smile.
Wang Mang looked at the teacher, “Teacher, I’m asking for leave for Wang Kuan so he can come back to school tomorrow!”
The teacher had no objections and nodded repeatedly, “Yes, of course! You go ahead and be busy!”
Wang Mang rode his bicycle away with Wang Kuan riding on it.
After going home, this little chubby boy would inevitably get a good thrashing.
In a great mood, Su Qinghe also looked at the teacher, “Teacher, our family’s Qin Wang won’t be bullied anymore in the future, right?”
“Of course not! I didn’t know about these things before, but now that I do, I certainly won’t ignore it. I’ll talk to the classmates later, and absolutely no bullying of classmates will be allowed to happen again in the future!”
Su Qinghe nodded in satisfaction, “Teacher is truly thorough in your consideration. Having a teacher like you is the students’ blessing!”
The teacher, “…”
Was she praising her or making sarcastic remarks?
Su Qinghe didn’t care what the teacher was thinking. Seeing that it was almost noon, Su Qinghe also asked for leave for Qin Wang, “Teacher, I’m also asking for leave for Qin Wang so he can come back to school tomorrow.”
“Good, good, good!”
The teacher quickly agreed.
“Go ahead and take care of whatever you need to do!”
Let alone coming to school tomorrow, even if he came the day after tomorrow, or didn’t come at all, it would be fine!
Qin Wang didn’t object and silently followed Su Qinghe out of the school.
Not long after walking out of the campus, Qin Wang said, “Our teacher treats you like a plague god.”
Su Qinghe touched her face, “Then I’m the best-looking plague god!”
Hearing Su Qinghe’s reply, Qin Wang’s eyes were filled with confusion.
She didn’t care that others treated her like a plague god?
She actually only cared about whether she was the best-looking one?
Just by looking at Qin Wang’s gaze, Su Qinghe knew what he was thinking, and let out a soft hum, “What others treat me as is their business. As long as I know who I am, why should I care what others think? Besides, what’s wrong with people being afraid of me? That way, they won’t dare to bully me!”
Hearing this, Qin Wang was deeply stirred.
Previously, no one had ever said such words to him.
“All right, stop thinking so much! Because of your business, I didn’t eat breakfast this morning. Let’s hurry and go eat! I want to eat two large bowls!”
Qin Wang pursed his lips, “You just woke up too late and missed the State-run Restaurant opening hours, didn’t you!”
Su Qinghe, “…”
Don’t expose the truth when you see through it, little comrade!
You are really not cute at all!
Qin Wang quickened his pace and walked ahead of Su Qinghe.
Seeing that Su Qinghe wasn’t following, he urged her, “Aren’t you hungry? Hurry up and walk!”
This little brat!
Su Qinghe thought to herself, quickening her pace to follow.
Before long, the two arrived at a State-run Restaurant.
The State-run Restaurant had just opened. Next to the service window was a small blackboard with the dishes available for the day written on it.
Ordering dishes?
That didn’t exist!
Whatever menu the State-run Restaurant gave you, that was all you could eat!
Su Qinghe glanced at it and ordered two large bowls of rice, a casserole of meatballs, and a casserole of crispy pork slices.
Although eating casseroles in the dead of summer was a bit hot, casseroles were truly delicious!
Especially rice soaked in soup, it was simply peerless!
The crust of the crispy pork slices was still crunchy, but the inside was extremely soft and tender.
The meatballs were even crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
The side dishes inside were cabbage and radishes, but because they had been stewed for a relatively long time, they were also very flavorful.
Su Qinghe hadn’t eaten breakfast and was already extremely hungry, eating without even raising her head.
Qin Wang glanced at Su Qinghe from time to time, his eyes full of doubt.
“What are you looking at me for? Although I look very good, looking at me won’t fill your stomach!”
How narcissistic!
Qin Wang muttered inwardly before he began to eat seriously.
After the meal, Su Qinghe had no intention of going home, “Let’s go, let’s make a trip to the Department Store!”
“What are we going to the Department Store for?” Qin Wang asked, puzzled.
“To buy a bicycle and a watch, of course!”
Whenever she went out in the future, she couldn’t rely entirely on her two feet, could she?
That would be too tiring!
Although watches were sold in the system space, she couldn’t use them openly even if she bought them!
Fortunately, in the box Qin Yu gave her, there were watch tickets and bicycle tickets. She could buy both!
Qin Wang still wore a look of incomprehension, “But you don’t even go to work! What do you want a watch and a bicycle for?”
“Don’t people who don’t go to work deserve to have bicycles and watches? When other people get married, they have the three-round-one-sound items. I only have two rounds. Your father hasn’t even said anything yet, what are you muttering about here? Hurry up and go!”
Qin Wang originally wanted to say he wouldn’t go.
But on second thought, what if Su Qinghe was extravagant and wanted to buy other things after getting the watch and bicycle?
He had to go along!
His father didn’t earn money easily, so she couldn’t be allowed to waste it casually!
The two of them, one big and one small, then went to the Department Store together.
First, go to the second floor to buy a watch!
Su Qinghe’s purpose was just to tell time, and she didn’t pick an expensive one. She chose a simple and exquisite women’s watch with a brown calfskin strap, which had a bit of a retro style and matched her very well!
This watch was also cheap, costing only ninety-six yuan.
Compared to those costing over one hundred or nearly two hundred, it was simply a great bargain!
Qin Wang had originally worried that Su Qinghe would specifically pick out expensive ones to buy.
Unexpectedly, she ended up buying the cheapest one!
This person was a bit strange!
